[Drug therapy and enteral hyperalimentation in the prevention of stress ulcer in intensive therapy].
Stress ulcer is one of the risks to which patients undergoing intensive therapy are exposed. In an attempt to gain further knowledge on the ways and means of preventing this complication, a comparison was made of a selective treatment using drugs with a specific action on the gastric mucosa in a series of 20 cases. The clinical course was compared with that observed in 20 untreated patients. Drug management was associated with continuous and constant enteral alimentation to keep the activity of the digestive apparatus as physiological as possible.
